Wheaton, where are you? It's becoming confusing to find one's way through downtown Wheaton. Redevelopment work has led to demolition of some common landmarks and shifting of others.

DuPage Art League, for instance, once located on the north side of Front Street, now resides in the former home of Colson's Department Store on the south side of that street. But, although the program and personnel may have moved across the street, part of the building has moved a couple of blocks east. Carlson Paint Store purchased the awning and pillars that were part of the exterior Art League structure and used them to cover the store's outdoor garden center at 119 E. Front St.

This just goes to show that artistic talent in Wheaton extends outside the doors of the Art League.
